It may be better to start with a more general review / update of NaPTAN bus
stop data in OSM. At ITO we are keen to get more comprehensive coverage of
NaPTAN codes into OSM which is currently patchy and out-of-date.

Personally I would suggest working from imported NaPTAN data first, then
check alignment where possible from aerial photography and then do a ground
survey where convenient or opportunistically. Comparing attributes in OSM
and the current NaPTAN database would be interesting as a starting point.

At ITO we are waiting for the new planet files to start appearing when we
will kick of a new build of our model and see what ITO Map and OSM Analysis
show up. Is there any news on the planet file restart?

Fyi, we will be getting weekly updates to NaPTAN data from 1st May or there
abouts.

Peter

  I've just noticed Bere Forest (and trails) has been wiped from the map:

  Unfortunately the history service contains to many world edits to be of

  I think user monxton has tried to repair stuff.

 If it helps, I don't mind if you revert my changesets to get back to a
 better place. I reinstated the roads, but clearly there's a lot more
 that went missing too.


This afternoon I went to the Forest of Bere in search of Bluebells as 
recommended by the Woodland Trust website [1]

However it didn't live up to it's 5 star rating, but it was quite nice 
nevertheless - maybe I'm a bit late for Bluebells - there were some but not 
that many.

So I've had a good wander and should be able to redo most main tracks (there's 
also loads of little paths - which where never in before anyway - not that I 
walked many of them).

What's all nice is the Forestry Commission allow you to cycle on *all* paths, 
and horse riding is by permit only (tag as 'horse=permit' ?)

I'll remap it time permitting tomorrow morning (out and about tonight) plus 
fixing the longer routes that go through it from previous outings / and renewed 
knowledge.

I didn't go to the north parts of the Upperford Copse section though.
